The contact should be audible over the west coast of the U.S. Interested parties are invited to listen in on the 145.80 MHz downlink. The contact is expected to be conducted in English. Albert Park College is located in one of Melbourne's most prestigious locations. Nestled in the heart of Albert Park the school offers state of the art facilities designed and developed by award winning architects Woods Bagot. Cutting edge architecture, combined with highly motivated staff ensure that we deliver high quality educational outcomes to the families of the City of Port Phillip. Families of the new Albert Park College have high expectations and we are driven by our commitment to deliver the best possible outcomes for the students in our community. Audio from this contact will be fed into the: EchoLink *AMSAT* (101377) server IRLP Node 9010 Discovery Reflector Streaming Audio at: https://sites.google.com/site/arissaudio/ Audio on Echolink & web stream is generally transmitted around 20 minutes prior to the contact taking place so that you can hear some of the preparation that occurs. IRLP will begin just prior to the ground station call to the ISS. Please note that on Echolink there are breaks of 1.5 seconds in the audio transmission. These occur every 2.5 minutes during the event. Breaks on IRLP occur approximately after every third question. Breaks are done manually, connected repeaters may time-out. ** Contact times are approximate. If the ISS executes a reboost or other manoeuvre, the AOS (Acquisition Of Signal) time may alter by a few minutes ** 73, John - AG9D ARISS Audio Distribution
